Feed source links inconsistent

    I’ve used the plugin to set up a dynamic blogroll. It looks great.

    But the ‘source’ link for *some* feeds link to the originating web site (which is what I would expect while others link to the feed (so for readers, it’s obviously useless).

    I have set them all up the same and can see no reason why some work as expected and some don’t.

    It’s set up here so you can take a look:

    Is there something I should be changing in the set up?

    Thanks.

    I just figured it out: if the source URL has a trailing slash, the link at the front-end points to the rss feed.

    Sorted.

    Thanks.

    Uh… except for tumblr rss feeds: apparently they need a trailing slash… so, yeah :).

    Gah, okay one more update for anyone striking this (and for you developer types :)).

    It’s not the trailing slash (or not).

    It’s the import.

    The reason it appeared to be random was because I had manually edited and saved some of the feeds. THEY were the ones that worked.

    So once imported, none of them worked proper (all ‘source’ links went back to the RSS feed, trailing slash or not). But if I edit them and update (I don’t have to change anything), THEN it works.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi @ferns,

    Thanks for sharing your solution here ??

    It might help others with a similar issue.

    Have a great day!
